I am selling my Zoom r24 recorder together with the cubase le 6 that came with it to a friend.I allready deleted the e-licenser on my steinberg account.

I'm wondering if this is all I have to do?

In the e-licenser controll center on my pc the license is still there, and the option to delete it is greyed out???Also cubase still starts up without complaining of a lack of license??? You need to provide the current soft eLicenser number to the buyer, then uninstall your installation from your computer.The buyer then needs to start a software re -activation (instead of simply activation), which is what he needs your current soft-eLicenser number for.

As a new user, I am at a loss to know whether I'm missing something or Cubase is missing something.I want a sound effect to ping pong back and forward from left to right speaker.I can see how to assign a sound to the left and another to the right but can I get one sound to move whilst it is being played? Logic Pro can do it but I don't have a Mac.Thanks Cubase can aslo do it, and what is best - without the need for a Mac. With autopan FX, or automation for example.And btw., if your sounds ping pong back and forward from your left and right speaker, you might have the speakers set up wrong... ;)

One of the features that is missing in the LE5 version is the gating option.It is very important for to use one (I am recording Drums and Percussion) and would like to ask how can I solve this problem? for example, is there an external software/plugin I can use (from within Cubase) that will provide me this function? :? :shock:

Cheers, If you read the plugin_ refernce pdf, you will find, Cubase LE 5 has a gating option in the vst dynamics. Other than that, yes there are plenty of 3rd party gates - easy to find via goolgle for example.

Sorry, should have looked at the screenshot more thoroughly - To hear the audio out of Cubase, you do of course need an audio connection, the Cubase audio bus set up correctly and your 0404 Patchmix DSP software setup correctly...Do you hear any audio out of cubase..?

I just configured an external effect with Cubase and my Soundcard. It works fine with one minor detail that I don't know how to fix. (BTW: I didn't linked the effect to a midi device, the manual says I need to do that, but I don't know exactly how to do it, it works without it) You don´t need to do that.

I am sending a stereo signal to the external effect via output 3 and 4 from my soundcard (1 and 2 are connected to the monitors). Then I send the signal back to the soundcard/cubase using intputs 3 and 4 (1 and 2 are the front mic inputs).

The problem is all tracks are being sent to the external effect at all times. How do I set this up so only the tracks I want to use the effect, is sending their signal, is that even possible? If Cubase is configured correctly, then you need to learn how to setup the scarlett mixer

i can't find this anymore :pi had cubase6.5 set to show the automation that had just been recorded on a plug in.(you move a knob in WRITE mode and off course the automation is recorded but also the correspondant automation lan shows up with the record going on.)that was very usefull to me can someon tell me where to set that ?

Hello :) So I started making my own kick drums from scratch in Sony's Soundforge since I refuse to use samples simply because I want the samples to be of my creation, the kicks I have made so far sound great and I'm quite happy with them but when I sequence a kick roll using 1/16 and then 1/32 quantize I get irritating clicky noises that are not present when the kick drum samples are singled out on a 4/4 beat, only in the roll. Now, is this because the samples are overlapping eachother? I wouldn't think so because I've done this before with other kick samples and I don't get the clicky noises, so it's obviously my samples, but what is doing this and how can I fix it? Does anyone use Soundforge that knows this problem? Can I fix this in Cubase? If this will help, I make my kicks MONO with a Sine wave @ 60hz @ -6.2 Db Thanks in advance :) (Cross-)fades

can you please show me where the right place it? Would be much appreciated, thanks :-) I've scanned the whole location tree, tried to put them in every possible folder but nothing...

If you do it from scratch cubase 7 saves them as a .fxchainpreset and not as a .vmx anymore like in C5. And can't seem to find the way how to open the old vmx's or even show them in C7. If you actually Read my First post, you' ll find I Already wrote where the right place for saving and loading *.vmx files is. I could repeat it once more, but I don' t really like repeating myself too much...

I just recently made the switch from cubase 5 to 7. I had a lot of channel presets that I've made myself and wich I had saved in cubase 5 easily by right clicking in the channel and use the functions 'save channel settings' or ' save mixer settings'.

I still have all these saved presets (vmx) but I can't load them into cubase 7 anymore? I've tried putting them in all directories (channelstrip, track presets, fxchain) but cubase 7 just doesn't show or recognize them anymore. Is there still a way to use my old vmx presets from cubase 5 or should I really start recreating every single one of them again by saving them as an fx chain preset? Depending on the used version, you can load them in C7 from the function menu in the mix console.

You need to select the correct input bus for the track you want to record to, after you have set up the corresponding device port for that bus in VST connections, as explained live and in colour in the manual.

i guess i maybe meant the global time..? i want to sync the arp on the mini nova to the global time of the project I'm working on in cubase Global time..? You mean MIDI clock - so you can tempo sync..?If so "transport -> Project synchronization setup" from there set the MIDI clock out ports depending on your hardware.Configure the mini nova to slave to incoming MIDI clock - No I don´t know how you do that, I´m not using it. But I´m certain it comes with a mnaual.

This is something that relates to Cubase 7.5 & the new VST Instrument panel. I know how to do it in version 7. I know - I read the thread title Just clicking on the name does nothing other than asking you to rename the Instrument in the slot :roll: Yes it does - I said click, not double click...

I'm working a CB 706 project in CB 75 and now the audio waveforms are not showing up on the automation tracks. I can't find a way to correct this in the preferences (or anywhere else). Now If I open the same project in 706 the waveforms are missing there too. Does anyone know how to correct this? Hopefully it is something easy that I am just overlooking. Thanks. In the automation panel.

Nonlocal: In my post, I am saying the same location you told me. Thanks anyway.

Thinkingcap: The two last VST I tried to install was :abass. It suppose to be a VST instrument. And GDlayWin64 that is a VST FX. You do know, that VSTi don´t appear in VST Fx..?And is your Cubase version 64 Bit? I don´t think a 64 Bit VST FX (which I suppose GDelay win 64 might be) will be seen by a 32 Bit Cubase, unless you use jBridge (I might be wrong though)

Am I needing to activate or register something else? Do I need a seperate licence activation on my dongle to be able to see 'Trip' ?? No you don' t need a special license. Have you also downloaded and installed the additional content files for HSSE 2?

There´s a difference between Totalmix and Totalmix FX, which has some more functionality concernicg CR features. and is very good for standalone use for example. Yet Cubase control room is more advanced. And if you´re working in Cubase, using its CR is more convenient than switching between Cubase and Totalmix FX

ah, thanks sofar. But as pgstudio mentioned, the sends only route to a possible bunch of midi effects (that are kind of a dead end as they are insert effects really, except perhaps midi monitor) So could I route a send to an instrument? Which is what I'm looking for. One track, to several instruments.....?Anyway, just happily used the shared copy method, and just now finished the part. On with the song. ( Perhaps I'll do the dreaded new singing parts tonight and be inspired by Christmas spirit) Merry Xmas! Switch the sends to "on"...

At 13:45 on this TotalMix FX vid https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sCH3qVaLL-I they talk about the "Cue" button, but it is more of a complete solo button than an equivalent of the Cubase "Listen" button (the latter of course where the other tracks are not completely muted, but simply turned down some dB).

I thought the "Dim" button in the TotalMix FX Control Room might be the ticket, but apparently it only describes how much all the channels are dimmed when the Talkback Mic is active?

Can anyone point me to where I can learn about the TotalMix FX equivalent of the Cubase "Listen" button please?

Or if there's no "Listen" button equivalent on the TotalMix FX - as I really like that feature in the Cubase Control Room ... how crazy would it be to have the Cubase Control Room activated but everything disabled but "Listen", and use TotalMix FX for the rest of the control room functions?

Thanks - You can´t use totalmixFX for "the rest of the control room functions", since Totalmix FX simply doesn´t have them.

I bought a new laptop another for work last week and I have been installing some of my software (so that I have the likes of Sibelius and Cubase on 2 x PC's).

I keep trying to update the 'grace period' Artist 7 to Artist 7.5 but it just wont download (even though I am definitely elegible for it and have it successfully installed on my initial PC for the past couple of weeks.

Are you only allowed to take advantage of the 'grace period' on 1 x PC ??

Thanks a lot,

Paul Since the license is in the dongle, you update it once, and it is then valid for all installations that use this dongle - really simple scheme...

Sorry, I was trying to Activate the software. I loaded the activation code as requested but when I went back into cubase it said I only had x amount of hours left. When I re entered the code I was informed that as the code had already been used it could not be re-entered And what does it say in the elicenser control center software?

Trying to install 7.5 update ..can't update licence ......message says server is not etc etc ...same message on separate PC.......I suppose I just wait.... I think everyone should clutter this forum with his own thread about the same topic... http://www.steinberg.net/forums/viewtopic.php?f=181&t=52968

I'm planning to buy Cubase Elements 7, or Cubase Artist 7.5.I have an USB eLicenser from Cubase 5. Can I use it (the hardware), or there is a new one that I should buy?Any issues of USB eLicenser with Win8.1?Any special tips/tricks regarding the new license over the old e-Licenser? Elements 7 uses the soft eLicenser by default, bit you can use your Cubase 5 key, if you want to transfer the license to a USB key. and Cubase Artist 7.5 will come with its own USB elicenser, since it's a full bersion.

I'm still running C7. Haven't upgraded to C7.5 yet but plan to before the end of he month. My questions are about the VST Amp Rack. I've watched some YouTube videos, and done a search here on the forums and can't find any answers. I have guitar parts recorded already. I add an insert effect and choose distortion, then choose VST Amp Rack. No problems up to that point. If I choose an amplifier, I can hear a difference in teh signal as I can also hear differences when I change cabinets. However, when I try to choose a pre or post effect, it only shows an empty pedal with No Effect written on it. No matter where I click I cannot get the arrow that turns into a plus sign that I see in the videos that allow me to choose an effect pedal. Am I doing something wrong here? Click on the empty Pedal and load your first pre FX, after that you get the plus sign to add a second FX

Hi allCan anyone please tell me how to stop record enable selecting multiple channels! :x If i enable say channel 5 then it also enables channels 10 & 11. Why is this doing this?Also just noticed that it does the same when i select the monitor button.

Well this does also do the job but you don't "need" to unless your bounce selection isn't working.....in which case you should probably investigate why that is. While I was using 7.0.5 I had to make sure I flattened before I bounced or it wouldn't remember my edits. I thought it was just a minor limitation that I had to work around. Are you saying that it should work both ways? Flatten and/or Bounce? IIRC, there was a misfunction in one of the C7 releases, but yes, "bounce only" does work in C 7.05

But of course, bulky hardware are being replaced by software. Neater. Simpler. Cheaper. Me too I prefer the real thing, and certainly not all hardware can be replaced by software, and not all software is cheaper but in the price range of the Xenyx, I´d say it´s not a problem to replace hardware with software.You just need to know if you´re monitoring through Cubase during recording, you might have to deal with latency. Which you don´t with the Xenyx. But also the ineterface should provide a zero latency monitoring possibility - then without the Cubase EQs though.Apart from that, there should also be mixers that allow for more than two channels recording, like the Presonus StudioLive series (Firewire), The Behringer X32, the Yamaha N8 / N12 (Firewire), Yamaha CL series (Dante), for example.

Are there any steps I should take before upgrading Windows (like de-registering Cubase etc) that is going to make my life easier in the long run? No - as mentioned roughly a hundred times on the forums, the license is on the dongle, which simply needs to be plugged into the computer you want to use Cubase on.

I wonder which one is the right setting for headphone monitering between "phones" output setting and "monitor (1,2,3..)" output setting in the control room.I can add "phone" output setting or "monitor" output setting in the control room for my headphone.I can hear the output sound with "phones" output setting,but I can also hear the output sound with "monitor" output setting.

So it's possible to use both output setting using headphone but wonder what setting is the best.I noticed that the sound from the headphone with "monitor 1" output setting has less reverb or tale sound,and the sound from the headphone with "phones" output setting has more reverb or tale sound than "monitor 1" output setting.I wonder which one is right "flat" sound for headphone monitoring.

Plesae give me some advice :),Thanks

JunL The sound from both outputs is the same, if you select them to monitor the same signal - nothing with more or less reverb for one or the other. The differences in which one does what are explained in the manual.

It the mixer I've noticed the panner on each track looks like a surround panner not a stereo panner. Everything is routed to a stereo bus and the track itself is mono. Any idea why this might be and how I get it back to normal? It is a surround panner, and you get it back to normal by removing anything surround in the project

Thanks, but that is not really an answer to my question. Your question was: So could I route the sends to an instrument? ?Then the answer is to switch them to "on" and you can... - really Could you please re-read my question? I have them 'on'. I re-read it twice before answering, and I think I understood it - maybe re-read my answer...

If you' re using the control room, configure it correctly, if you don' t use it, turn it off.

I didn't mean that I want to keep version 7 installed. I just want one version installed: the latest one (7.5).From what you say, it seems my version 7.5 installer will install a separate, full version, and will keep version 7 installed. So I need to manually uninstall version 7 before (or after?) doing the 7.5 installation... right?

What about the eLicenser software? Should I uninstall it? Probably it will get re-installed with the 7.5 version, right?

Is it true that during installation of version 7.5, the installer will download a new version of HALion Sonic SE content? Is this download several gigabytes large?

Thanks Go here scroll down to where it says "Cubase 7.5 complete installation", download the two iso files. They contain everything for a full standalone installation of 7.5, so you can uninstall 7.0 - which you can do before installing 7.5.

Cubase 7 came with an example project file called "Lucky 7", in this project there is a Master Buss setup under "Input/Output" Channels which all the other tracks are routed to. This enables EQ and effects to be applied to all tracks. My simple question is how do I add this to my project? I have been trying to find out for some time! You hit its "write" button in the mixer.

Initially when I setup Cubase 7, I went through and had everything setup and working, AND I successfully tested everything out in a mix. I'm a set-it-and-forget-it kind of guy, so, I don't make a habit of changing anything if it works. Now suddenly my Line-in shows as inactive. Under the device console the only option I have is to make it visible or not. I know the input works because I can hear the sound coming through it. And the device is active on the ASIO console. ...so what gives? Why does Cubase no longer activate my line-in?Any ideas as to how to fix this?

Running Windows 7 64-bit, 64-bit Cubase 7 installation, generic integrated RealTek sound card. If with "device console" you mean "device setup", then not Cubase activates in- and outputs - you do. In that way, that you connect the hardware port to a bus in Cubase VST connections - as explained in the manuals and roughly 100 times here on the forum.

Just an update for any one who's interested, or is experiencing similar issues:

I sent support an email September 16, with a link to this thread. I got this response today:

[i]According to our resale wizard, if the old owner of Cubase Elements 6 had the license in a Soft-eLicenser, then he should have transferred the license into a USB-eLicenser and then send you - the buyer - that USB-eLicenser with the license. A resale by reactivation is not allowed. [/i]

Nice to see support responded pretty swift.I followed the guidelines using the resale wizard multiple times, but never got this advice. I´d say, that´s plain *flower*. The Resale wizard says: Required steps before sellingAt first, please make a note of the activation code you've most recently (!) used to activate the program. The new owner will need this code to be able to reactivate the software in his own MySteinberg account, which means requesting a new activation code!

Log in to your MySteinberg account.Click on "Show Registered Products".Click on "ONLINE RECEIVED ACTIVATION CODES"In the displayed list make a note of the most recently used code of the program you are plannign to sell. You can copy the code and paste it to a text document to avoid typos! Now you can delete the registration of the Soft-eLicenser!

Click again on "Show Registered Products".Click on "REGISTERED USB-ELICENSERS/STEINBERG KEYS OR SOFT-ELICENSERS"Beneath the entry of the Soft-eLicenser holding the license you wish to sell, click on "DELETE REGISTRATION".A new page opens on which you need to confirm the deletion by clicking on "DELETE REGISTRATION" again.As soon as the deletion has been completed the program can be sold as unregistered software. Remember to provide the new owner with the activation code you've noted before!

Recommended scope of supplyA complete offer should include:

installation disk (CD-R, DVD)important: most recently used activation code!manual(s)original box It should be clear though, that once the license is on a USB key, you can´t get it off that key anymore and can only use the software with the USB key.

Steinberg has added this already, it' s just not called little helper nor utility

how is the name of this, please? "mix 6 to 2"

I tried it with the 3 different panner modes, but they wont work. The signal is then on the left or right only.But I´ll need the mono signal then on booth speakers eqal Yes, sorry that' s of course correct, you get the signal either L or R only, not center, but you can listen to both of them separately.
